Hello,

I need some information on 
- how partitions and slices work for Hard disk on FreeBSD, about how to
  make a correct entry on disktab for configuring additional hard disk.
- how to calculate the need of swap partition (or slice?) (depend
  on phisical memory perhaps?)

I was looking that section on handbook on section 10.5.8 (or 10.5.4?),
unfortunately there is nothing there yet.

I am sure you can help me to point somewhere to get that informations

Thanks and Regards

Iwan L. Wirawan
